History
1995 • 21st edition
From 1st to 10th September 1995.
Under new management by Bruno Barde, the Festival opened to Competition. The first Jury was chaired by director Andreï Konchalovsky, in company with vice-president actress Anouk Aimée. Previously devoted to actors and directors, the Deauville Festival Tributes would henceforth also honour producers, the key figure of Irwin Winkler being the first to receive tribute. Also on the Boardwalk were Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Kevin Costner, and Billy Crystal… The Festival staged a retrospective “New York in Cinema”, in the presence of Robert de Niro. Clint Eastwood was given “Carte Blanche” to invite festivalgoers to discover his 8 favourite films… all westerns! A new Festival Village provided space for the event’s partners and hosted press conferences and photo calls. The first Festival Grand Prize was awarded to Tom DiCillo’s Living in Oblivion.
